Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 42 No one is wrong!

At the foot of the opposite mountain, the team of villagers driving cattle and sheep and pushing carts is very conspicuous.

Seemingly hearing the shouts of the inspectors, the originally quiet and orderly team of villagers became visibly flustered.

But it was obvious that someone was organizing it, and soon, the slow-moving team of villagers moved much faster, and even discarded a lot of supplies they were carrying.

It's a little far away, and I can't see clearly.

But there is no doubt that the "rebel" is just ahead.

"Chase!"

The order was issued again, followed by a series of shouts.

Seeing the figure of the "rebel" with their own eyes, the morale of the inspectors was obviously improved, and they quickly went down the mountain amidst shouts.

"The mountain is at the end of the river..."

Chu Mu looked at the figures fleeing in the opposite mountain forest, but these four words suddenly appeared in his heart.

The frenzy of flying moths into the flames last night, no accident, should have exhausted the little resistance in Qili Village.

Next...

Chu Mu looked at the inspectors rushing down the mountain, and then glanced at the direction of the villagers of Qili Village.

Tightening the handle of the knife, Chu Mu didn't think any more, took a step, and followed the inspection team down the mountain.

Along the way, contrary to Chu Mu's expectations, there was not a single attack in such a close-range pursuit.

In less than half an hour, a hundred or so armed inspectors arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.

The woods were in a mess, with scattered clothes, food, discarded vehicle frames, and even cattle and sheep wandering in the forest.

"Come up!"

"They can't run far!"

Just as Chu Mu stopped, before he had time to see the scene in front of him clearly, Li Jinghong's command sounded again.

Chu Mu subconsciously looked around and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to take a step to keep up with the advancing inspection, the sudden scream made Chu Mu's heart tense in an instant.

Before Chu Mu could see where the source of the screaming was, the sound of howling piercing through the air exploded in the chaos.

whoosh whoosh...

Arrow clusters flying randomly, sharpened bamboo tubes, from all directions, like a net from heaven and earth, attacked the patrols who broke into the forest.

There were those who ran away indiscriminately, but they fell headlong into the pit covered by leaves, and were directly stabbed by the sharpened bamboo tube in the pit.

There were those who were trembling in place, but were directly pierced through the body by the sharp bamboo tube fired from nowhere.

All of a sudden, in this messy land, blood flowers bloomed one after another, and almost instantly, this dense forest was dyed bloody.

Chu Mu didn't dare to move a bit, and pulled Xu Yuan who was stupefied, and squatted halfway beside the frame abandoned by the villagers of Qili Village. Under the cover of the frame, Chu Mu observed the surrounding situation with extreme vigilance.

Taking a rough look around, Chu Xu suddenly understood when he saw the mountain people rushing out with various weapons.

Really jumping over the wall in a hurry!

Chu Mu's heart was pounding suddenly. There were heavy casualties along the way. When he entered the mountain, there were almost two hundred inspections. Until now, it was estimated that there were only a few hundred people.

Now being ambushed by such a long-planned...

"Won't be overturned?"

Chu Mu held the long knife tightly, and there seemed to be a little more worry between his brows.

If this is overturned, it will really be over!

This vast mountain is covered with heavy snow, and the place is unfamiliar, so there is no way to escape!
"A bunch of trash!"

"Give it all to me!"

"Death to those who retreat!"

"Rush! Let me rush!"

After killing a patrol inspector who had almost collapsed and fled, Li Jinghong looked around the audience, and the sound of shouting resounded throughout the audience.

With the sound of Li Jinghong's voice, each of the hundreds of households and the team leader finally reacted. Amidst the shouts and shouts, the chaos of fighting each other finally restored some order.

Scattered counterattacks followed.

After observing for a while, Chu Mu slowly relaxed.

This ambush seems to be massive, but in fact, it is only the first wave of traps and the terrible casualties caused by the sharp bamboo tubes fired in some way.

Afterwards, scattered clusters of arrows attacked, and the old and weak mountain people...

It is very clear that Qili Village is at the end of the mountain.

In front of him, Chu Mu even saw an old hunter with white hair rushing towards him with a rusty hunting knife.

It is not difficult to see that most of the attackers who charged this time were ordinary people with little skill.

Military achievements are really close at hand, and for Chu Mu, it is really within reach.

But at this moment, in this battle field between life and death, Chu Mu hesitated a little.

In the face of that extraordinary skill and deadly attacker, he can resist without hesitation, and even use all his heart to think of ways to kill him.

But in the face of this old and weak person who sees death as home...

It is not the benevolence of a woman, nor is it the Virgin Mary.

It's just... the outlook on life and values ​​established in the past decades are affecting him.

"Officer dog, die!"

The blade roared towards him, and the ferocious face that was close at hand was clearly visible, and the hateful eyes seemed to want to swallow Chu Mu alive.

"Brother Mu!"

Seeing Chu Mu in a daze, Xu Yuan exclaimed!

As the blade approached, Chu Mu finally pulled back and escaped the old man's attack without expending too much energy.

Feeling the hatred in the old man's eyes, Chu Mu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Is he wrong?

Wearing a patrol coat, he acted according to his conscience, never bullied anyone, let alone did anything out of conscience with the help of this patrol coat.

This time, it was just his duty to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

It is only right and proper for officials to catch thieves!

And is the old man in front of him wrong?
He is also right.

The burden of corvee is too heavy, the people have no means of living, and the officials force the people to rebel, which is also a matter of course!

It is only natural that he wants to kill himself as an official and hate himself as an official!

No one is wrong!
Chu Mu pursed his lips, and raised his hand to block the blade that the old man swung again, then the long blade switched, the blade turned the back, and chopped the old man's neck with just force.

As soon as the old man's eyes were darkened, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Second uncle!"

"Second uncle!"

"Dog officer, if you kill my second uncle, I want you to die!"

"Give me death!"

Accompanied by crazy shouts, another strong man rushed towards Chu Mu like crazy.

Chu Mu was speechless, this time, there was no room for him to hold back.

This strong man was obviously also a martial arts practitioner. The ring-headed sword was powerful and heavy. After a few cuts, Chu Mu felt that his arms were not his own.

"Come on, you guys are going to let Brother Mu fight alone again!"

"When Brother Mu is defeated, can we run away?"

Seeing that Chu Mu was obviously out of support, Xu Yuan hurriedly yelled at the patrol inspectors on the side, and then rushed up with a knife.
